Its SCImago Journal Rank (SJR, a free Scopus-based metric) is 0.368, quartile Q3, with an H-index of 6.
The publisher lists an article processing charge of about US$1,270 for open access (source: OpenAlex). Many journals also publish by the subscription route at no cost to the author, so confirm on the journal's own website.

h-index, i10-index and 2-year mean citedness are open, licence-clear metrics from OpenAlex — not a proprietary impact factor. The subject rank counts only journals that OpenAlex has a figure for; it is not a Scopus or Clarivate ranking. Updated 2026-10-14.
In its latest 85 research articles (2024–2026), authors are most often from India (14.1%), Bangladesh (11.8%) and South Africa (7.9%).
